Could we perhaps not drag RMS out of whatever dark place we're blessed not to hear about him from?
We have enough pedo shit going on with the POTUS at the moment.

Wow, he’s quite passionate. I just kept scrolling through the quotes and it never ends

Thanks. Sorry I should have linked to it. I kind of assumed it was common knowledge.

I had no idea. With all of the things I have to follow on a daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly basis some things are just going to fall through the cracks. “Minor public figure holds reprehensible views” won’t generally hit my radar. “Major public figure did something reprehensible” may not hit my radar depending on how busy or drunk I am in a given week, which will leave me wondering why people hate them years later.
I’m not saying this as a criticism of you. You brought it up which is super valuable. There’s just so much shit to keep up with that I always appreciate context because I have other things going on and rarely have any idea what reprehensible thing a particular person has said or done.

Hey no sweat 🙂 I just happen to be old enough to have known / read about / heard about RMS for decades. Given enough time, if you're at all interested in the free software movement, his less-than-savory traits naturally end up coming to your attention.

Does using the computer just turn people into this?

Yeah, LibreOffice saves in docx. Which is fine as long as you don’t care what it looks like when they open it.

At least for school assignments this is easily fixed by just opening it yourself in the school library and adjusting format. It’s usually pretty minor.
Honestly most of my professors accepted papers saved as pdfs which was helpful too

When I was in college and I needed extra time on a paper (because I procrastinated too hard), I would deliberately save the .odt as an incompatible .doc format and submit it. Which gave me at least as much time as it took for the professor to let me know they couldn’t open it and ask to resubmit.
